Next week you'll see an all new Design Team member featuring a card on the blog, but for today you get one last Friday card from me!
I've had this challenge in mind for a while and I'm thinking a lot of you have tried this or would like to, because it means making the most of your stash of paper.
It's titled "Repurposed" because even though a patterned paper was designed for a specific holiday or season, that doesn't mean it isn't suitable for another purpose. So the specific challenge is to do just that -- find some paper in your stash that was intended for one holiday/season and give it a new life.
Here's my example:
I know, it's a little strange to see a Christmas card when we're a week away from St. Patrick's Day, but I've had this paper in my stash for a while now, and it was time to give it a new purpose. It's some Scenic Route paper that is Valentine-themed, but it definitely works for Christmas, too. In fact, I think I like it better this way.
So search among your patterned papers and see what you can repurpose...

A very original challenge. This Christmas paper seems well suited for St. Patrick's day.
